Will the water fall created by those aquarium filters create co2 that the plants need? If it does then maybe its a good idea to have an intake fan from the waterfall onto the plants without the need of a co2 generator. Any inputs?

That's very unlikely. You've probably heard of people mixing yeast with sugar water to create CO2 though.
Well, is falling water better for the plants atleast? I've got an aquarium near my area and can easily hook up the intake to run from there if there are beneficial factors. I heard that waterfall creates negative ions and can deodorize the air. Maybe its good for the plants?
Sorry let me rephrase:
Is CO2 created by waterfall?
the only thing a nearby waterfall is going to do, is increase humidity, not a good thing, especially during flowering, when the buds can hold moisture, and develop molds and mildew ... I suspect you are thinking of the 'negative ions' and ozone, released during a thunderstorm, those are a product of the static electricity in the atmosphere, not the rain itself ... :smokin:
No, a waterfall will not create CO2.
Water is H2O.
Mixing it around will not make it magically *poof* become a different compound.
The only application for a waterfall in your grow would be oxygenation of your res water.
Falling water creates ozone, but that's for smell, not food.
Are you sure about that?Quote:

Even static electricity, like in a lightning storm.
falling water will make more oxygen in the water and that's about it. No ozone, No CO² maybe raise the Hunidity but that is about it.
Sorry, I meant negative ions, which is for smell. Note to self, don't smoke before posting.
